Syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of multinuculear manganese complexes with Schiff base ligands

Multinulear manganese complexes with Schiff base ligands, [{MnIII4(μ3-O)(sae)4(μ-N3)(CH3OH)}2(μ-N3)]N3 ([1]N3), [MnIII6(μ3-O)2(sae)6(NCS)2] (2) and [MnII4MnIII2(sae)6(CH3OH)2Cl2] (3) (H2sae=2-salicylideneaminoethanol), were prepared and the crystal structures and magnetic properties were studied.
